The event, set for Saturday, Sept. 7 at the Throckmorton Theatre, "brings together literary luminaries and musical all-stars in a captivating, rollicking, thought-provoking performance to raise funds for the Mill Valley Library."

Over the years, the Beyond the Book Bash garnered a reputation for drawing an eclectic array of performances from writers and musicians against a culinary backdrop of food and drinks from local restaurants, breweries and wineries.

​In past years, the event has featured the likes of New York Times bestselling writer Tom Barbash, legendary comedian Mort Sahl, Grammy-winning musician and Santana frontman Tony Lindsay, award-winning poet, playwright, teacher and screenwriter Chinaka Hodge and Michael Krasny, host of KQED's award-winning "Forum" program. Organizers of the 2019 edition of the event will unveil the lineup in the coming weeks.

In years past, the event has raised upwards of $125,000 to support the library's programs and services.
